Classic Cars of Mayberry | The Andy Griffith Show

Take down your fishing pole and meet me at the fishing hole, where today we'll be taking a look at the classic cars of Mayberry from The Andy Griffith Show. Automobiles played an important part in the show. In fact, several of the best episodes were written around cars and the people who were driving them. So let’s take a gander at some of these fine machines, and the roles they played.
Andy Taylor is the widower sheriff of the small, sleepy North Carolina town of Mayberry. Andy and son Opie live with Aunt Bee, who takes care of the family. Andy's deputy is his bumbling but neurotically hilarious cousin, Barney Fife. Among Andy's Mayberry friends is the town's resident barber, Floyd.

Kidd you have brought back many memories of things of the past of the things that you put here today. For my friend and I met in 1959 grade school. For he and I always kept in contact for many years until I got out of the Corps in late 1985. For we both had the love of cars, for we had found an old 55 Jag XK 140, for he and I had built that car together for 4 yr's from the ground up and 3 months later after we had completed it my brother died from a heart attack .But there is one thing that you must understand that my brother was black and I am white. But one thing is for sure that we of all colors will always stand together under this Flag of the US. For I know this true for all my brothers under the Red white and blue. Old , Master Gunnery SGT USMC.
